How to Set Gears on a Mountain Bike for a Smooth and Efficient Ride
To set gears on a mountain bike, begin by shifting the front derailleur to the smallest chainring, then adjust the limit screws on the derailleur until the chain is centered over the chainring. Next, shift to the largest rear cog and adjust the limit screws on the rear derailleur until the jockey wheel lines up with the cog. Finally, test the shifting by riding the bike and making any minor adjustments needed to ensure smooth gear changes.
